Seeds as sources of DNA
- Germination of seeds (carob and guar)
- Extraction of DNA from fresh tissues
- PCR amplification of extracted DNA
- Electrophoretic analysis of amplification products
Notes:
We found on germinated seeds of the guar plant and carob tree two DNA regions that we called ìmarkersî because they exist in both plants but (as seen in the next slides) with specific differences depending on the species.
